Installed 64 bit Win10 by mistake. Should I install 32 bit instead?

I installed Win10 recently on an old netbook (yep one of the old 2gb Atom's!) and it runs about as well as I'd/you'd expect.. Which is actually to say, not bad really considering! It's only intended to be a back up machine and is handy to have around.

Anyway, I forgot that the Win10 boot usb was 64 bit. Is it worth going through the whole thing again and putting win10 32 bit on? Would it be noticeably faster in some way? As I said it already runs pretty much how I would expect so I'd be surprised if it were to run faster but I've no idea.

If anyone knows if it's worth putting on the 32 bit ver I'd appreciate it.
 
Thanks for the replies everyone. I took it for granted that the Atom was 32 bit but I found this which says otherwise. Amazing really.

Anyway, I'll leave it on 64 bit. It does run surprisingly well for a 10 year old netbook.
